My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1033: Clash of Justice

Tears streamed down his face as the rotund body struggled to kowtow on the ground.

He begged the immortal master to save his life.

Only then did Li Fan reveal his figure.

"It seems that when outsiders intervene, the rules become invalid. Only if he wins the match entirely on his own does it take effect."

Li Fan thought to himself.

Without wasting words on the round ball, Li Fan fixed his gaze on the other party, and an invisible force descended abruptly.

While pulverizing the over one hundred thousand wailing intents in the other's mind into fragments and transforming them into nourishment for consciousness.

He also performed a liposuction procedure on the other.

Half a day later, the survivor, who had regained a normal physique and whose consciousness had strengthened to nearly rival that of an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator, slowly awoke.

"Jiang Nian'er, you residents of Fan Yong Island occupy a land blessed by heaven, yet you idle away your days without striving forward, squandering heaven's grace. Thus, heaven has sent down heavenly punishment, bringing this calamity upon you."

"I, moved by heaven's mercy for all life and seeing your pitiable state, have intervened to save you."

Li Fan's voice boomed like thunder, his divine sense directly pouring into the other's mind.

Etching his words deeply like a brand.

"Thank you for your grace, Immortal Master; thank you for your grace, Immortal Master..."

Soon, the restored Jiang Nian'er wept bitterly, kowtowing repeatedly on the ground.

"I only wish to follow at your side from now on, serving as an ox or horse to repay your life-recreating kindness..."

Even as a collective consciousness of over one hundred thousand mortals, Jiang Nian'er, easily brainwashed by Li Fan, spoke with utter sincerity.

Li Fan did not respond, merely saying solemnly: "This is a calamity, yet also a tremendous opportunity."

"You wish to become my disciple..."

"You lack the qualifications for now. Follow at my side first and serve as a Daoist child. If your future performance satisfies me..."

Li Fan said indifferently.

Jiang Nian'er kowtowed to Li Fan once more, never daring to raise his head.

"He is your test!"

Li Fan pointed to the immobile Foundation Establishment cultivator nearby and said.

"The cultivators of this world are divided into Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment..."

After briefly introducing the cultivation system of the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan continued: "This person is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"You must defeat him with your own power!"

"My patience is limited; I will give you only fifteen days."

Jiang Nian'er's body stiffened at once.

Though he did not understand what late-stage Foundation Establishment strength entailed, he had once seen the immortal masters flying through the skies.

With powers to soar through the heavens and earth, summon winds and rain, how could a mere mortal like him possibly prevail?

What could be accomplished in just fifteen days?

Li Fan saw Jiang Nian'er's fear and smiled: "Rest assured, I would not send you to die in a meaningless task."

With a gentle point at Jiang Nian'er's brow, Li Fan transmitted a Golden Core technique and a set of basic formation introductions.

"With what I have taught you, it will suffice to handle him."

"Of course, if you fail to digest much of this content within fifteen days..."

"Then the lucky one will become him." Li Fan looked at the nameless Foundation Establishment cultivator and said with a smile.

Jiang Nian'er's heart tightened, and he quickly sat cross-legged on the mat, beginning to comprehend the content that Li Fan had imparted to him.

"Absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to harness its qi..."

Starting from the most basic cultivation knowledge, a brand-new world of immortal cultivation slowly unfolded before Jiang Nian'er's eyes.

Although his divine sense was already nearly as strong as that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, Jiang Nian'er clearly had not yet adapted to how to utilize such power.

He still read word by word, slowly and carefully, as if a mortal afraid of missing any detail.

It was not until nightfall that he suddenly jolted awake.

Had half a day already passed?

The thought of the fifteen-day death deadline brought an immense, invisible pressure crashing onto Jiang Nian'er's heart.

"No, no. I need to go faster, even faster."

It must be said that Jiang Nian'er was indeed the ultimate winner among over a hundred thousand people.

Soon, he not only learned to scan ten lines at a glance but also mastered multitasking.

While studying the introductory immortal cultivation technique, he also began pondering formations.

Thus, three days later.

Li Fan sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy from Jiang Nian'er.

"Qi Condensation in three days? It seems his aptitude is average."

Because the dark and eerie power had already eroded his body, the immortal-mortal miasma on Jiang Nian'er was almost entirely gone.

Although this skipped the step of expelling the miasma from his body, completing the intake of qi into his body in three days meant his aptitude was absolutely not poor.

However, Li Fan had seen too many geniuses, so his standards were naturally high.

Aptitude was not what Li Fan truly cared about in Jiang Nian'er anyway, and he paid it no mind.

Instead, he continued observing his choices.

He did not disappoint him. After successfully stepping into the Qi Condensation stage and practicing for a while, he realized that in the remaining twelve days, he absolutely could not achieve a breakthrough.

Thus, Jiang Nian'er devoted almost all his subsequent energy to studying the introductory formation that Li Fan had given him.

The introductory formation that Li Fan taught, in terms of power alone, was more than sufficient to trap a Foundation Establishment cultivator to death.

Moreover, it had been specially simplified by him, allowing even a Qi Condensation cultivator to use it.

"As long as you are not too foolish and forget to accumulate the spiritual energy needed to sustain the formation."

A faint, enigmatic smile appeared on Li Fan's face.

In truth, whether one won or lost mattered little to him.

In any case, the winner would inherit the eerie power and could not escape his grasp, becoming his tool.

What Li Fan truly wanted was to observe the specific changes that occurred during the identity devouring process under the influence of the eerie rules.

"The eerie rules can actually be seen as principles of heaven and earth."

"They are simply principles born from excess during the world's fusion process, principles not acknowledged by the heavenly dao of the Xuanhuang Realm."

"We cultivators who harbor the eerie and strange must face heavenly punishment."

"But heavenly punishment..."

Li Fan shook his head slightly in his heart; he truly was not afraid of it!

The fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye.

"The deadline has arrived. Let us begin."

On this day, Li Fan suddenly spoke, breaking the island's tranquility.

At the same time, he instantly lifted the restrictions on that Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator had remained conscious the entire time, listening to the conversation between Li Fan and the other.

"A mere Qi Condensation novice who has only practiced for a dozen days dares to surpass me?"

"What a great humiliation; I must wash it away with your blood..."

His eyes turned bloodshot, and the moment he regained his freedom, he summoned his Foundation Establishment wondrous item.

A straight wooden staff appeared in the sky, instantly locking onto Jiang Nian'er.

It was about to launch an attack and crush him.

However...

He suddenly found his vision blurring, and the opponent's figure vanished without reason.

"What?" The Foundation Establishment cultivator's heart jolted in shock.

He looked around and realized that at some unknown point, he had appeared in a vast bamboo sea.

The previous desolate island encounter seemed like an illusion.

Outside the formation, Jiang Nian'er struggled to maintain the [Bamboo Sea Dragon-Trapping Formation] while letting out a sigh of relief.
